Consider the test-case test.c, compiled without debug info:
...
void
foo (const char *s)
{
}
int
main (void)
{
foo ("foo");
return 0;
}
...
Disassembly of foo:
...
0000000000400564 <foo>:
400564:
d10043ff sub sp, sp, #0x10
400568:
f90007e0 str x0, [sp, #8]
40056c:
d503201f nop
400570:
910043ff add sp, sp, #0x10
400574:
d65f03c0 ret
...
Now, let's do "info frame" at each insn in foo, as well as printing $sp
and $x29 (and strip the output of info frame to the first line, for brevity):
...
$ gdb -q a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) b *foo
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400564
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out

(gdb) display /x $x29
2: /x $x29 = 0xfffffffff3a0
(gdb) info frame

2: /x $x29 = 0xfffffffff3a0
(gdb) info frame
Stack level 0, frame at 0xfffffffff3a0:
(gdb) si
0x0000000000400574 in foo ()
1: /x $sp = 0xfffffffff3a0
2: /x $x29 = 0xfffffffff3a0
(gdb) info frame
Stack level 0, frame at 0xfffffffff3b0:
pc = 0x400574 in foo; saved pc = 0x40058c
(gdb) si
0x000000000040058c in main ()
1: /x $sp = 0xfffffffff3a0
2: /x $x29 = 0xfffffffff3a0
...
The "frame at" bit lists 0xfffffffff3a0 except at the last insn, where it
lists 0xfffffffff3b0.
The frame address is calculated here in aarch64_make_prologue_cache_1:
...
unwound_fp = get_frame_register_unsigned (this_frame, cache->framereg);
if (unwound_fp == 0)
return;
cache->prev_sp = unwound_fp + cache->framesize;
...
For insns after the prologue, we have cache->framereg == sp and
cache->framesize == 16, so unwound_fp + cache->framesize gives the wrong
answer once sp has been restored to entry value by the before-last insn.
Fix this by detecting the situation that the sp has been restored.
This fixes PRs tdep/30010 and tdep/30011.
This also fixes the aarch64 FAILs in gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp and
gdb.reverse/solib-reverse.exp I reported in PR gdb/PR29721.
Tested on aarch64-linux.
